It would have been better if the screen went black after he knifed her.

Agreed actually.

Whole thing was fricked up.

I mean, where to begin...

You kill Dany for being a megalomaniac tyrant, and then you give her general (who's butchering POWs) a say in what comes after? Who gives a frick what the Unsullied and Dothraki think?
And btw, he's good with that? You just killed his queen, and he's cool with what these people (some who are prisoners, others inconsequential, and he owes no loyalty to any of them) decide?

The decisions of the council:

You find the least known person, who's qualifications are that he's a good librarian, to be king, and nobody with ambition challenges that?

Sansa announces that the North will stay independent... moments after a fricking Stark is named king? Newsflash: it's not a Southern King anymore, I don't think the North would have issue with ruling Westeros. Which, to be clear, just happened.

Send Jon to the Wall, ... oh, you mean that pointless barrier against nothing anymore, that happens to now lie outside the boundaries of the 6 Kingdoms (it's the northern border of the North). What the hell, is it a penal colony now? Jon could cross into friendly territory and flip them off, and say "if you want to punish me, come invade the North to do so".

It's just so weak; Jon was still Warden of the North, easily King in the North if he decided to announce it, the commander of about half the victorious army (and the one commander most of Westeros would support). He made a judgement call, and the news was spreading that he was heir to the throne. And the opposing half of the winning forces just lost their huge air support asset.
Instead of kneeling like a bitch, Jon could have stood tall and said he did what was right for Westeros. He doesn't want any further war, but if these foreign invaders (Unsullied, Dothraki) can't accept it, they can leave or be removed. And then, he can choose to decline the throne, saying that the Seven Kingdoms will be ruled by 7 Kings, who will decide by consensus what happens.
Jon (or Sansa if he declines) for the North,
Sam Tarly for the Reach,
Robin Arryn for the Veil,
Gendry for the Stormlands,
Tyrion for the Lannister lands,
Dornish dude for Dorne,
Yara for the Iron Islands.
Council of Seven.


Oh, last but not least, the Small Council meeting, why do we need a new Master of Spies? Do we not have a king that can see anyone, anywhere, at any time now? Is that not enough- and btw nobody gives a second thought to putting such a person into such a position of power?
yeesh

Them skipping ahead right after Jon kills Dany was cheap, IMO. We got no reaction from anyone other than a CGI dragon. Just Dany dies...fast forward and Jon is a prisoner and everyone is automatically aware the Queen has been killed.

It was a network TV finale to an HBO show

Nicely put.

That council scene in the dragon pit may be the worst scene ever filmed

I was loyal and faithful, my expectations weren't met

That's pretty much how I feel about it.

I ain't gonna lie. I hated it.

I really just could not wait for the finale to end.


A few thoughts:

1. So, Jon is banished to the Knight's Watch ... WHAT THE frick ARE THEY WATCHING FOR? Who is in charge of them ... the six kingdoms or The North?

2. Why can't Bran the Broken have children? A cripple's dick doesn't work? A cripple can't frick? How was this "fact" established?

3. Drogon took off with Dany ... so, when the Unsullied finally showed the frick up ... was Jon like, "uh, yeah, I kissed my Aunt that I already fricked and then I stabbed the bitch ... but she's still My Queen and all, so y'all just do what you gotta do." ?

4. I really wish when Jon walked up on on Dany at The Iron Throne, the show would have tee'd up George Strait ... "Well, excuse me, I think you've got my chair."

#4 would have been better than the pile of dog shite we ended up with.

TERRIBLE!

You've gone from bitching about substantive aspects of the plot over which the screenwriters have no control to the actual subjective delivery of the storyboarding.

They do have control. They admitted that they’re the ones who decided to make the show exactly 73 episodes long a few years ago despite HBO more than willing to pay for more. This rushed ending leads to lazy writing (including the shock value scenes) and dumbing down the characters in order to finish the story up quickly.

I don’t care if you like it but I think that there’s issues with the show because that’s my opinion. But then again I’m arguing with someone who thinks having opinions about entertainment is wrong.

You have also resorted to making fun of a disabled, real life person on a message board because you are mad about muh TV show.

That’s was dickish but my comment has zero to do with the show and everything to do with being a needless dick to Oweo like 90% of the OT.

STOOOPID.
